I believe they are down to Chekov running the "wessel."

I think the part I found the most amusing was the part where Doug tried to double cross the government by tipping off Rogers and then having Rogers rat him out to the government for doing so. Wow, that had to have been mortifying to find out you've been double crossed by someone you were trying to help out by double crossing the government and then you find out you were being ratted out by the person you were trying to help. So, I guess Rogers made the most of it and Doug is going to get the worst of it.

Truly a sad story. So, what's been the impact on the hobby?

[Davino]

Sounds like some shady business there.

I will say this...Legendary is taking a hit...as most of you know I am a Phillies collector when not chasing t205s and seeing some of the hammer prices on those lots I was surprised. Many were under what I would have paid a more reputable auction house (lotg or sterling or rea). Some way under. I do not bid in their auctions because of what has happened in the past.

I won the one lot I bid on at a decent price. Sorry, Brian Van Horn et al, I'm unable to be pious when it's on my wantlist. I'll resume my moral outrage now.

One man's piety is another man's self-restraint.

Had to think about that one for a while.
